The Times says that Premier Bal-
four referred with excellent tact to
the ,A1asism. award, and was able to
give Canadian soreness a comforting
assurance regarding the two small
islands in the Portland Channel.
Mr. Ay1essvortles speech shows
that Canadians can accept an ad-
verse decision with the temper dis-
played by the British at home. If
any assurance will assist them it
will be found in the bold, manly)
speech of Lord Alverstoue.
Thinks the Two Small Islands
Are of No Value.

Upon Any Defence,
Ambassador Choate is, of
Course, Well Pleased.
London, Nov. 16.—Premier Balfour,
Lord Alverstone and others referred
to the decision of the majority of
the Alaska Tribunal at the banquet
given in the historic Guild Hall by
the new Lord Mayor, Sir James
Ritchie, to -night. About 1,'e00 guests
Were present. In bis opening remarks
Premier Balfour, referring to the
far eastern situation, saki that there
Was every reason to feel sanguine
that it would not Have a serious out-.
come. He based this assurance on
the passionate desire of the Czar to
promote geueral peace, and the fact
that :tamale as the ;;1.y of (heat Brit-
ain, wetted be !certain so display mod-
eration, dis:Iret.on and judgment in
Its demands, as well as firmness in
enforcing them.
Ir. Balfour said that the Maces:on-
lan quest.ori raL ed issues more dif,i-
cult and more complicated than even
those of the far east, because it
touched the almost feiennial diffi-
culty of the problem of the govern-
ment of its European subjects by
the Sublime forte, but he was con-
vinced that the question must be u.t.
mately settled uy the coneeet of
Europe.
He spoke of the Pranco-13riiiels
treaty a,s one certain to promote in
ternational peace.
The Ahteka Decision.
Referring to Alaska, the Premier
said; "Tee danger arising from the
uncertath and disputed frontiers in
the case between the Ilritish Empii e
and the United States has been de-
cided tor all time. I regret that the
decisren has not been favorable to
the claims of this country, but the
two small 'elands, tee loses of whi'ah
to Canada has aroused such great
feeling, are realty valueless from a
strategic and military point of view.
We regret the exact tenor Qt the de-
cjs.on, but, foweter.• the b.tlan,e of
advantage went, the gain to the
United states or the loss to Canada
Is nothing compared w.tli the final
removal of this subject of dispute io-
tween the two great t:ou ties. The
decis,on mutat be .oyully accepted, for
the removal of s:a serieu:r a eceetru-
versy 1s an inestimable .bcou.'
Air. Choate's Primes.
United States Ambassador Choate,
responding to the toast of "The For-
eign Ministers," spanking of the Alas-
ka boundary question, said it was "a
happy ending of the only matter of
controversy twat threatened at any
time to create mischief and distrust
between these two great English-
speaking peop:es." The result, fur.
Choate enid,''was due more than any-
thing else to the good sense, justice,
courage and devotion to duty of Lor
Chief Justice A]verstoae. The epee:. l
pe.i.d a tribute to the magnauiniit.y
of the Canadians and said that the
termination of the controversy had
made both countries better friends.
Me. Choate then paid a graceful and
treeing tribute to the memory of the
late British Ambaasades at Wash-
ington, ,sir efb,chael Herbert. He sug-
gested that the United States and
Great Britain unite in honoring Sir
M ehnel Herbert by selecting some
magnificent mountain peak "on the
line of demarcation of the Alarkan
boundary and affixing thereto the
name of Herbert."
Has Nothing to Say.
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone re-
ferred briefly to the Alaskan bound-
ary question, saying he declined to
justtfy or to explain his conduct, bee
cause such a course wou'.d be a death
blow to the confidence reposed In
the British Bench,
Der. Ayleeworth's Speech.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Sir
Marcus Samuel and Sir Jarne:y Thom-
son Ritchie also spoke.
Tle the Canadian Aosociated Press
in reference to the foregoing, Prem-
ier Balfour said; "1 only read a few
hours ago a telegraphic summary of j
Ler. Ayleeworth's speech. I cannot
pretend to judge a speech from a
telegraphic summary, !nut 1 can guess i
that It was expressed In terns •as
eloquent as the sentlinents dealt with
seemed to me to be junt."
The Standard's View,
TLe Standard, this morning, re-
ferring to the Guildhall speeches, says
it is ab,vurd to sulk about the Alaska
award. There le no doubt whatever
that the Valium of the Cann,diaa con-
tention was due to the inability of
tbeir advocates to prove their rate
beforo the eminent jurist preniding
over the tribunal. Lord Alveretone'ti
speech was the only vindication of
his judgment that waif needed, lir.
Balfour i.s assured by the military
advisers' of the Government that the
two small islands given to the United
States have loot their real strategic
valnte. Canadians for the moment

CASTLES GONG TO RUIN.
Costly files Built by Late Bavarian
111,tnttreh.
Munich, Bavaria, Nov. 10. --Trite num
eronr; castles of the late luau Icing
of Bavaria, Louis II., are rapidly -
falling into ruin 'They are magnifi-
cent productions, but in their out-
ward shape, position and interior de-
coration ail betray the strain of
madness in the mind of their builder.
Some, like Nenseltlr.anstrin end Lin-
deulf.of, cost fabulous gums, and to
keep ahem in repair would entail
more 'trouble and expense than the
Bavarian ttovernlnenL can spare. The
architectural value of the castles is
regarded as small, and th, Govern-
ment asks itself why it should go
on laying out mor:cy on perpetuat-
ing for posterity what is of no
artistic value, and which, after all,
was only the craze of a mad mon-
arch.
It is in contemplation to preserve
in the national museums some of the
best specimens bf art, like the gor-
geous petcock embroidered with bril-
liants at the foot of the poor King's
bed, and .vliich is said to have cost
$1,000,000, snit eh) rest of the eccen-
tric furniture and bric-a-brac will be
put up at auction, and the castles
will ,be left to decay.
